There are scratches, stains, and discoloration of the nubuck leather. It shows signs of use, but it's still usable. Please understand that this is a used item, and only purchase if you are comfortable with that. Before listing, I cleaned off any removable dirt and applied care cream. You can use it right away and feel good about it. No case included. (Everything in the photos is what you get) I will pack it as compactly as possible and ship it in simple packaging. This is an authentic item, purchased from a used brand shop. (Please see my profile)
